The monster that Bernie built

It's day 2 of the Democratic National Convention and Bernie supporters are still protesting. What are they protesting? They believe the DNC rigged the election - they're wrong: Bernie lost fair and square, with Hillary getting millions more of the popular vote. What are they hoping to accomplish? That I can't answer - do they really believe that if they sulk long and hard enough, the DNC will subvert the popular vote and hand the nomination over to the loser?

I blame Bernie. He crafted this cult of personality and it was an ugly thing ... recall the thousands of death threats made by Bernie supporters to a DNC official because Bernie lost the vote in Nevada. Now the monster will not die and no one has control over it. Job well done, Bernie.
